Higher Ground Journals of Jaguar Monk

For over four decades Paul Jensen has played guitar, composed music, traveled, and written in journals. Although writing appears very different from creating music, he never differentiated between the two of them.

In "Higher Ground: Journals of a Jaguar Monk," Jensen offers a myriad of sparse yet personal journal excerpts, glimpses into the beautiful times spent in nature over the years. From riding trains cross-country to driving solo through the desert, and from east coast to west, he has always sought the elusive "now."

Perhaps this writing will shed some light on Jensen's life's journey of seeking "Higher Ground" in the simplest ways, with the words of the masters in his heart.

Paul Jensen, aka Pablo Solitaire, has been writing, composing, and playing guitar for over four decades, performing around the country and producing a number of CDs, including a recent CD to accompany the book "Higher Ground." His recent focus has been on distilling the many journals he's kept over the years and creating poetry and fiction based on his early writings. A gentle soul, Jensen continues to enchant readers with his insightful and peaceful reflections.
